Direct mail expansion fueled growth for meal kit brand

This fast-growing meal-kit delivery service had optimized its digital, TV and radio advertising, and wanted to test direct mail as a scaling opportunity. Franklin Madison Direct developed a FactorTest™ matrix that included four creative concepts, seven data models, 10 vertical files and five offers over a three-month test phase. The creative concepts leveraged integrated branding and imagery to align with the client’s existing TV spots. In just 30 days, the campaign was cash positive and producing a rising sales rate.

The Problem

Relying solely on digital and social ads, the brand needed a scalable, cost-effective channel to expand customer acquisition.

The Solution

FM Direct designed a strategic test, leveraging high-LTV customer models to identify the best-performing audiences for direct mail.

The Outcome

The brand acquired 2,000+ customers, achieved a $21 CPA, and beat ROAS goals by 123%.
